You can translate any subset of your diagram with a translation vector. Here are the steps:

  1. Select ebd_Ebd173  the geometry to be translated.
  2. Click the Translation tool translation icon  in the Construct toolbox, or select Translation from the Construct menu.
  3. Click the cursor to draw the end point of your translation vector and move the cursor to establish the length and angle of the translation. Click again to finish the vector.

The translated geometry appears. You can adjust the position of the translation by clicking and dragging the tip of the vector.

Notice all points on the translated geometry are written as "prime", i.e. A becomes A'. If you translate this geometry again, A' becomes A".
